Arkansas coach Sam Pittman had reason to let loose following the Razorbacks’ victory over Ole Miss on Saturday, their first home SEC win since 2016. The Razorbacks had six interceptions and a fumble on defense to pick up the win.
Here’s a sampling of what Pittman told the media after the game:
Pittman commented on the first career interception by Hudson Clark.
“That’s coaching, that’s playing, that’s being in position,” Pittman said after the game. “That’s reading eyes. (Matt) Corral had had one interception going into today, and we picked him six times, and that’s coaching and that’s players learning, and obviously being able to get it done as well. … They’ve heard of him now.”
